Councillor investigated over remark on teenage girl's Facebook page

A councillor is being investigated over claims of a 'creepy' comment posted on a teenage girl's Facebook page.

Conservative Jim Marsh, who is both a Lancashire County Councillor and a South Ribble Borough Councillor, is facing backlash over the comment which appeared under a public warning posted by an 18-year-old girl from Preston.

The girl posted a warning on Facebook after a man tried to jump into her car at a Walton-le-Dale petrol station on Saturday, February 10.

In her post she detailed how the man tried to open her car doors which she said she always keeps locked.
